That was a wonderful test series. Nice to see ball totally dominate bat. Nice to see the newbies like Boland and Webster do so well. (yeah I know that Boland isn't technically a newbie but he's new enough) I think that team discipline won it for Australia. Too many uncontrolled egos in the Indian side. Bumrah was easily the best bowler but great bowlers so often come in pairs or even threes. What the Indians really lacked was that 3rd swing/seam option.

Australia's triumph over India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy stands as the defining moment of the Pat Cummins era

A glorious Test series ends with a famous Australian victory, a new Tasmanian hero born and a summer-long triumph that stands as the most significant for Pat Cummins's champion team.

It is the start of the southern summer and the Matroosberg (meaning sailor mountain) still have patches of snow on it.

IIRC this mountain gets the most snow in South Africa, which is a bit crazy as it is only 2249m.

The amazing Hex River Valley mountains as seen from just as an amazing drive on the Du Toitskloof pass.

Once through the pass one gets into more wine country, but this time of Chenin variety.

I have never hiked here, but I am told the terrain is pretty tough, especially when doing the Hex traverse. It is on the bucket list though.

Het proza van Tolstoj wordt nog vlotter van de vertaling van Hans Boland

In een voorwoord dat óf spectaculair ironisch is óf spectaculair hautain legt vertaler Hans Boland uit waarom hij de titel van Tolstojs klassieke novelle veranderde.

The irresistible case to pick Scott #Boland over Josh Hazlewood for #MCG Test. A big part of this was that twice he took multiple wickets in an over. This year against the West Indies he did it again, three in six balls with a pink Kookaburra in an evening session. #cricket #Australia

The irresistible case to pick Scott Boland over Josh Hazlewood for MCG Test

The everyman quick’s form stacks up but his selection for a home Test in Melbourne against South Africa is also about the vibe he brings
